24hrs Winter Bushcraft

[SwissGearLabs]

Finally got the chance to get out and spent 24hrs in the Swiss mountains with a friend. Some gear testing, hammock hanging, cooking, hiking, and enjoying nature.

Wanted to test my cold weather hammock setup and therefore went down in a valley where there are "lakes" of cold, humid, trapped air. The tarp was like cardboard in the morning (frozen stiff) ;)

Dinner: Roast chicken and bacon bannock (and a good bottle of wine that needed to be keept warm by the fire...)
Breakfast: Bannock with nuts and dried fruits -> this is fantastic stuff in the morning, tried it the first time.

Greetings from Switzerland

Very jealous. If I went to the bottom of the valley where I live I'd be in the M4 breathing diesel fumes.

Brilliant video, thanks for sharing. Watched this one first thing this morning whilst eating my breakfast :) Bannock looked great.

[Fletching]

Yep, bannock looked great and I love a good spit-roast, me. ;)
